Duggar Arrested for Child Molestation

0:00It's March 20th, and here's what's happening across entertainment and pop culture. Joseph Dugger, the 31-year-old former star of the reality show, 19 Kids and Counting, sits isolated in Washington County, jail, in Arkansas. He's awaiting extradition to Florida after his arrest on Wednesday for child molestation charges stemming from an incident during a family trip in 2020. The allegations involve a girl who was 9 years old at the time, now 14. Bay County investigators got tipped off back in March by Arkansas police about possible past sexual abuse on that vacation to Panama City Beach. Dugger's high profile means he's kept completely separate from other inmates for safety reasons, with guards checking on him every hour around the clock to prevent any self-harm. He's spacing two counts of lured and lascivious behavior with a victim under 12, classified as life felonies in Florida since he was over 18. Conviction could mean at least 25 years in prison, up to life.
